What Girls Said 2

If your employer doesn't pay you on time on a regular basis, you can definitely take them to court.

When my boyfriend left his job, his ex-employer tried to pull a fast one on him, cited some bullshit from his contract and thought he'd get away with it. My boyfriend purposely decided to be extra civil in the email exchange when asking what happened to his pay while ex-boss was very short replying with "See page blah blah section whatever". So I told my boyfriend to file early reconciliation with ACAS (requirement before taking your boss to an employment tribunal).

My example relates to UK and how these matters are handled here. But I imagine it can't be too different. Before taking someone to court you're expected to try resolving an issue on normal terms. If the other party doesn't cooperate, then you can say you've done all you can, but nothing worked, so court it is then.

I'm not sure how it is in USA and could also vary from state to state. If I were you, I'd start googling what to do when your employer doesn't pay your wages on time on your local government websites.

I don't imagine someone lasting very long on the job (as bad as the job maybe) once they got full on legal warfare lol

Then again , a fine game of... okay... I am working a shitty job that doesn't pay on time... but... my relationship with the employer is gonna go to the shit if I go full on cital on him... what if he then later come up with some bullshit reason to fire me or I lose out on a promotion because of it?

If your employer excluded you from a promotion or tries to fire you on the basis of you demanding what is legally owed to you, you can sue his ass some more for unfair dismissal and discrimination (again, in the UK, not sure about USA laws).

If you gather your evidence well, the timeline of mistreatment after initial lawsuit will only confirm that your employer is treating you like shit because you took legal action and you can claim on that basis too.

But expect to leave that job, in all honesty. If I were to sue a boss, it's because the workplace was shit and I wouldn't have wanted to stay anyway.

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. if you're gonna hit your boss with the books , well better start packing because your time in the company is pretty much over... and GOOD LUCK with finding a new job in an economy such as this lol

God damn... I NEED AN ADULT!I NEED AN ADULLT... SHIT... I AM AN ADULT!
